When snow is on the ground and the temperatures are freezing, it’s difficult to concentrate on corn and soybeans in the field. That said, there’s no better time to gear up for the agronomy season—focusing on boosting safety efforts and minimizing costly errors.

That’s exactly what CMIC Agronomist Teague Lottman brings to the agronomy meetings he’s currently scheduling with the company’s client cooperatives. It’s a basic step in getting your agronomy staff in the right frame of mind.

“Every growing season is different,” says Lottman, explaining that each year brings new technologies and challenges—from new chemicals and hybrids to changing sprayer and adjuvant technologies. “There’s no better time than now, before the spring rush begins, to plan for the season and educate and train your agronomy staff—or anyone at your cooperative who will be dealing with agronomy issues come spring.”

Lottman will come onsite and present the agronomy claims meeting—discussing information including proper steps in mixing or applying chemicals, keeping seeds separated, effective communication techniques during the busy season, and taking time to do it right. “We’ll talk about the cost of claims, show a PowerPoint® of actual mistakes others have made, and discuss how you can avoid the same pitfalls,” says Lottman. “Nothing drives the point home like actual cases and photographs.” There is no charge to customers.

To schedule your agronomy meeting call CMIC at 800-642-8572 or contact Lottman directly at 402-408-9052 or tlottman@coopmutual.com.
